	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 139, Havice.  State employees:  State Bargaining Unit 7.
   Existing law provides that if any provision of a memorandum of
understanding reached between the state employer and a recognized
employee organization representing state civil service employees
requires the expenditure of funds, those provisions of the memorandum
of understanding shall not become effective unless approved by the
Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
   This bill would approve provisions of a specified memorandum of
understanding entered into between the state employer and the
California Union of Safety Employees, and would provide that the
provisions of any memorandum of understanding that require the
expenditure of funds shall become effective even if the provisions of
the memorandum of understanding are approved by the Legislature in
legislation other than the annual Budget Act.
   This bill would provide that provisions of the memorandum of
understanding approved by this bill that require the expenditure of
fund shall not take effect unless funds for these provisions are
specifically appropriated by the Legislature, and would provide that
if funds for these provisions are not specifically appropriated by
the Legislature, the state employer and the affected employee
organization shall meet and confer to renegotiate the affected
provisions.
   The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  The Legislature finds and declares that the purpose of
this act is to approve an agreement pursuant to Section 3517 of the
Government Code entered into by the state employer and a recognized
employee organization.
  SEC. 2.  The provisions of the memorandum of understanding,
prepared pursuant to Section 3517.5 of the Government Code, and
entered into by the state employer and the California Union of Safety
Employees, and that require the expenditure of funds or legislative
action to permit their implementation, are hereby approved for the
purposes of Section 3517.6 of the Government Code.
  SEC. 3.  The provisions of the memorandum of understanding approved
by Section 2 of this act that are scheduled to take effect on or
after July 1, 1999, and that require the expenditure of funds shall
not take effect unless funds for these provisions are specifically
appropriated by the Legislature.  In the event that funds for these
provisions are not specifically appropriated by the Legislature, the
state employer and the affected employee organization shall meet and
confer to renegotiate the affected provisions.
  SEC. 4.  Notwithstanding Section 3517.6 of the Government Code, the
provisions of any memorandum of understanding that require the
expenditure of funds shall become effective even if the provisions of
the memorandum of understanding are approved by the Legislature in
legislation other than the annual Budget Act.
  SEC. 5.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect.  The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order for the provisions of this act to be applicable as soon
as possible in the 1999-2000 fiscal year and thereby facilitate the
orderly administration of state government at the earliest possible
time, it is necessary for this act to take effect immediately.
